Unless, of course, some *other* code that vim sends changes the cursor shape... > Might just as well set then undefined then. There is one thing I noticed - > if my TERM is set to 'linux' it changes cursor, but if I use xterm-xf86-v40 > it doesn't change the cursor. So, based upon this, the answer was easy enough to find. Just looking at the output of 'infocmp -d linux xterm-xf86-v40' I noticed: cnorm: '\E[?25h\E[?0c', '\E[?25h' Which, thanks to 'man 5 terminfo', you can explain as "To reset the cursor to normal visibility, rather than invisible or very visible, in a linux terminal, send the code '<Esc>[?25h<Esc>[?0c'. To do the same for an xterm-xf86-v40 terminal, send the code '<Esc>?25h'." This means that on a "linux" terminal, the cursor shape will be reset to the default. To change that, you could throw this into your ~/.vimrc: if 1 let &t_ve = substitute(&t_ve, '\e[?\zs0c', '6;14;224c', 'g') endif That says "If the terminal's 've' attribute (which is the termcap name for what terminfo calls 'cnorm') matches /\e[?0c/, replace the 0c with 6;14;224c" - ie, use *your* prefered cursor type, instead of the default cursor type. It's pretty likely that other applications will also use cnorm, though, so you might want to just change your 'cnorm' sequence in your terminfo database, instead... ~Matt --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
